Bujtas Doubles Through Young

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

We heard an all in called at Table 8 and upon investigation, it seemed Laszlo Bujtas had gotten his last 12,800 in there but in awful shape with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} against the {a-}{a-} of Max Young. However, Bujtas had flopped a flush draw and filled it on the turn to double his short stack.

Chong Hits the Rail

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Down to his last 10,000, Victor Chong moved all in from middle position and was called by Gillian Epp in the big blind.

Victor Chong: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Gillian Epp: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

On the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop, Chong picked up an open-ended straight straw while Epp had top set. "That's a fair flop," Russell Thomas said in the one seat. Neither the {3-Clubs} turn nor the {6-Spades} river improved Chong and he headed to the rail.

Two Bustouts on the "Feature Table"

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jason Gray
Jason Gray

Since almost all tables in the poker room are in use, the upcoming feature table for the Twitch Live Stream is in use already without any of the action being recorded yet. There were two early casualties on there as Tanner Millen's two pair with ace-seven went down to the flush of Louis Salter, who had the {10-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Soon after, Christopher Costanzo sent his chips over to Tobias Hausen.

Jason Gray, member of Australia's Poker Hall of Fame, has been spotted on the rail as well. "I got it in with the nuts on the flop and couldn't hold," he said before heading out of the poker room.

Young Drops a Pot

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Max Young checked from the big blind on {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and check-raised to 6,000 after a player in the hijack bet 2,500. That player called and they saw a {10-Spades} pair the board. Young downbet 3,800 and his opponent peeled to the {q-Spades} river. This time, Young checked and quickly called a bet of 5,000 but couldn't win showdown against {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Speranza Still Shippy

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Gianluca Speranza opened for 1,800 first to act and got one caller before Andreas Klatt made it 6,200 on the button. Speranza jammed for about 25,000 and won the pot uncontested with two quick folds.

Speranza has nearly triple what he started the day with, a dream beginning for a man who came in with one of the shortest stacks.

Kozlov Up and Running

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a {5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop Martin Kozlov checked to another player who bet 2,500. A third player in the hand called, as did Kozlov.

The three players checked the {4-Clubs} turn and the river was the {j-Spades}. Kozlov bet 9,000, forcing both players out of the hand.

Aristidou Milks Tony Hachem

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Tony Hachem suffered a large setback when he paid off a barrage of barrels from Peter Aristidou. On an {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} board, Hachem called bets of 4,500, 9,000 and 8,000. Aristidou showed {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and Hachem's {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} was second best.

"All in and a call!" sounded on tables 8 and 10, respectively. On table 8, Amanda De Cesare lost an all in with {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} against {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} to head for the rail, while Yucheng Rong got it in with {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} against Federico Butteroni's {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. The former November Niner sealed it easily on an {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to end Rong's attempt.
